It's hard to tell. There is still a lot of possable routes around the mountains and northern part of the map. Plus if the docks do go to another island then that even more.

So why do people not think it's based on New York after seeing this? Huin City is exactly where the big, iconic financial district of New York City is located. There are corresponding islands in the Issue region for the real-world islands off the coast. As if this were an issue of "OMG I'M AN AMERICAN SO F-YEAH GO AMERICUH!" If someone else can present better evidence then this then so be it. EDIT: Sorry, I wasn't aware of the possibility it could be Shanghai. Still, I think that Isshu being "far away" makes it more likely to be New York City, and Wooguru does look a lot like a bald eagle. |

Also, it could be BASED off of America. It doesn't mean everything has to be where it is supposed to be. Hiun city is obviously Baltimore. Baltimore is the greatest port city in America. There is the Golden Gate bridge in Isshu, and thats in San Francisco, California. There is a large desert which is Arizona or even Mexico. The towns near the Mountains could be Montana and Idaho. There are two mountain ranges. Those could be the Rocky Mountains and the other could be the Appalachian Mountains. The carnival area could very well be Coney Island. Wooguru being based off of American symbols adds to this theory. |

China doesn't make everything. Taiwan Mexico and Japan do as well heck even America makes things.

Is bashing America the "cool" thing to do in third-world countries? Isshu simply doesn't look like Shanghai. :/
If you can find a place in the world that actually resembles Isshu, I'll take that into consideration as well. |
Quote:
Anyway back on topic: Isshu could just be random and made up geography wise. |
Quote:
Also, the reason we have things made overseas is because we can pay them a lot less to make them... not design them. Anyway, Isshu could easily be based on nothing, or it could be a place that we have not considered. |
Wow I read an article about BW in the site of troops and it had the category: Internet Backdraft and it seems that's what's happening here sadly...
OK I'll stop saying it's based on Shanghai if people stop saying it's based on America let's just ignore that for now and talk about the cool mountains they have. I can imagine finding Snorunt and Snover there :) |

There's too much city in New York for Isshu to be based off it, too much land in Shanghai. It is not America in general, they don't do something like that. They build it off areas, not giant landmasses. |

It's probably either New York or Shanghai, but both have equal points going for and against it, we're at a complete standstill here. Let's just move on, yeah? The world map looks stupid. A hexagon? |
Quote:
Anyway, since the city (Hiun City) is surrounded by water I wonder if the surrounding Pokmeon will be somewhat urban, and DEFORMED from pollution! :P Also, I'm watching The Wiz right now and Emerald City could be the basis of Isshu with it's tall buildings and bridge :O #sarcasm |
Wow. Why would a children's game cause people to insult each other's intelligence and places of origin in a blatantly rude manner? Oh yeah, because we're pokemon fans. Guys, chill out. This is nothing more than a game, and whether it's based off of New York City/USA/North America or Shanghai/China, the quality of the game won't decrease in any way. Personally, I find both arguments very valid after considering both sides.
The Shanghai area is closer to Japan in proximity and culture, and it has the circular lake which looks very similar to the pokeball lake in Isshu. Likewise, Isshu's skinny and rectangular shape matches that of Manhattan a little more than the Shanghai area's, and the red bridge resembles the Golden Gate quite a bit. I do not think Woogoru supports the America theory in any way, but I am almost positive he is a bald eagle as opposed to a Chinese eagle. And I don't think the American PC users here are suggesting Manhattan only because they think they're the greatest, or they want it for selfish reasons or egotistical notions. In fact, the users supporting America seem to be more respectful than the Shanghai supporters, and well, Team Shanghai seems to be stating their views as fact when nothing is confirmed yet. (If anything, it seems to me, a lot of people supporting Shanghai because they DON'T want it to be America). As it's been said, people only see what they want to see, and it works on both sides of the spectrum. So again, nothing is confirmed, both sides are equally plausible, let's all be respectful. Kthx. |

but yes, I agree that we've reached a standstill, and as usual it became another excuse to bash us Americans... |
